Hi Ms. Beech,

Please continue to visit this site.  There are regular posters here who have loads of information for us (sometimes they come across as a little bent-out-of-shape (I say that with affection people!) , but their hearts are in the right place).  We all endeavor to thwart the lowlifes who torment our lives!

I can't even begin to tell you how many times I've received calls from "Microsoft Support/Security".  I make up a new answer each time - it's become a sort of game to me.  The best response I've gotten was the time I  told them that I had downloaded a virus on purpose.  The man on the phone couldn't believe that I would do such a thing and asked me why.  I told him that I wanted to see what would happen.  After a moment, he laughed and said, "That's a good one!"  and hung up.

Rec'd a call from a gentleman with an Asian/Indian accent.  He stated he was from the computer support department and was calling to let me know that my  computer is downloading malicious software  without me knowing.  I then asked him "How could he possibly know that when the computer is a secure computer?"  He then asked to speak with my husband Arthur.  I told him he is not my husband.  I work for his Law Office.  He then said he will call back later and hung up rapidly.

Getting calls from this #, also. Caller ID shows 'international call'.

I keep a whistle next to the phone, after making sure the caller is a human . . . I BLOW it. Most of the callers don't bother us again!!
